Sage Alchemex announced the launch of its new specialised Microsoft Excel course today. The new course, Excel on Steroids Plus: Data Analysis, Visualisation and Dashboards, offers financial and operational directors andmanagers an opportunity to discover the full capabilities of Microsoft Excel for analysing and visualising data so that they can make better business decisions.
The course focuses on teaching Excel users with a sound knowledge of advanced business reporting features in Excel, how to model data in order to create interactive dashboard reports. Because they are interactive, dashboard reports make analysing different variables of data easy and provide valuable insights into the key performance indicators of a business that lead to smart decisions.
Sage Alchemex Training Manager, Sandra Darier says: "Dashboard is a buzzword amongst Excel users, and rightfully so. Dashboards give better visibility into the business by presenting raw data in visually rich charts and tables they can easily make sense of, and make it easy for anyone to filter and change views to view data at different angles.
"With this course, we can show financial directors and managers, for example, how to build data models, and create interactive visualisations in the form of tables and charts within dashboards, that will give them new insights into what is really going on in their businesses. After attending the course they will leave with the skills and expertise needed to get valuable business intelligence insights from a software application they already use in their businesses every day."
The course includes:
* A pre-assessment of current Excel skills
* E-mailed exercises to practice and assessments after each course
* E-mail support for three months
* Weekly Excel tips and tricks
